No stronger evidence of the increase in
the population and business of a commu-
nifty can be had than marked increase in
the volume of its mail. The record of
the Sacramento Postoffice in the past two
years shows an increase in the volume OF
business of more than so per cent. Yes
terday the Postmaster took down the drop
letter boxes at Second and streets. Eighth
and J streets and Tenth and X streets, and
put in their places the largest size. those
originally at those places being too small to
hold all the letters.
The raisin crop of the vineyards Of the
Briggs estate promises to be excellent and
to command fair prices. The first crop is
now considered safe. The second crop
will be better than the'tirst provided the
weather is propitious for curing it. In esti-
mating the probable profits of the season,
there is always an element of chance 10 be
considered. If the fall rains hold off until
the second crop is cured, the net returns
will be very satisfactory. The yield from
these vineyards in 1886 was something like
$1,000 boxes. This year it will be consid-
erably more.
